Seven Deadly Sins for Kids

Here is a remarkably non-threatening series of vintage illustrations designed to instruct children about the dangers of the seven deadly sins.

Pornography makes angels cry:

Angels also weep for the slothful:

I’m not sure why the girl in the patchwork dress appears *stunned* at Little Ms. Pride. At any rate, the squirrel is amused.

For the remaining sins, go to Rev Guzman’s flickr set.

I rather like the little girl’s patchwork dress!

Although, I do imagine she’s stunned because she probably never hada dolly, and her’s this girl with *two* of them!

Amazing! I am from Mexico and we used to read this book and more from this series! I used to love them I really didn’t care about the angels’ feelings but the graphics and colors are so beautiful and the demons on the cover are so stylish!
